    [disc] free good host for games

    Because i dont have a very good internet conection i would like to host my games on other server but to keep my site on my server.

    Do you know a free host which could offer hosting for swf's without launching adds/popups or bothering be in some way?

    I would like games to appear to be in my site but to download them from ouside to avoid some costs.

    I don't realy think that's possible, most free servers live from the add's on their sites. They would be foolish to allow visitors to just leech the data, but don't giv eanything in return.

    If you want to use a free host, just make some screenshots of the game on your site, and make it link to the page from your host. There's no other (legal?) way I'm afraid. You should be happy there is such a thing as a free host

    ATSPACE.COM - w/o banners, popups and other advertising staff.
    And obviously w/o support of any server side languages (PHP, ASP, JSP).

    If your game is good, Syboard (http://www.syboard.net) may host the swf file for you. What game(s) would you like hosted? Oh and how much bandwidth would you expect these games to consume? Syboard has a lot of excess bandwidth to use up, because it isn't a very popular site, but we don't want to host a game if it'll exceed our bandwidth limit.

    If you can't host your files on your own site's server, try ImageShack (http://www.imageshack.us) or http://denvish.net/ul (read the text at the bottom of that page before uploading anything). By the way, your site... it has some really annoying music, and I can't figure out how to turn it off.

    I have a bluehost account. I'd recommend them if you pay, too. Something like 200gb bandwidth/month, $7-8/month, a free domain name, and you can host 5 extra domains.

    You can host 5 domains with 8 usd?
    Do you have some tools to upload files or is just ftp acces?
    Can you make forwarding ?

    Yes, you can do domain forwarding and you can host 6 domains in total. They allow you to register a domain name for free when you sign up. This will be your main domain and you can add 5 others as 'addon domains'. I think you can only register/transfer .com .net & .org with them, but you can add any domain extension for the other 5 as far as i'm aware of. I have a .net as my main domain and some .com's .info & .co.uk as addons.

    There are quite a few tools in the control panel, with some for dealing with your files such as drag & drop upload & file manager.

    I don't understand... Are you afraid to learn new software, like an FTP client? FTP is probably the easiest and fastest way to get files onto a server. Using a web tool, like you seem to be alluding to, is slow and limited.

    I use WS_FTP (free, lite edition) or Dreamweaver's built-in FTP.

    Until now the BlueHost seems to be the best. What trafic are allowing you for one month ?
